Oracle

Prerequisites

• If your Oracle database is protected by security groups or other firewall settings, you will need to have the data syncing service's static IP available to complete Step 1.

Step 1: Allow access

Create a rule in a security group or firewall settings to whitelist:

• incoming connections to your host and port (usually 1521) from the static IP.
• outgoing connections from ports 1024 to 65535 to the static IP.

Step 2: Create writer user

Create a database user to perform the writing of the source data.

1. Open a connection to your Oracle database.
2. Create a user for the data transfer by executing the following SQL command.

CREATE USER <username> IDENTIFIED BY '<some-password>';
GRANT CREATE SESSION TO <username>;

3. Grant user required privileges on the database.

GRANT CREATE SESSION TO <username>;
GRANT ALTER USER TO <username>;
GRANT CREATE ANY TABLE TO <username>;
GRANT CREATE ANY INDEX TO <username>;
GRANT SELECT ANY TABLE TO <username>;
GRANT INSERT ANY TABLE TO <username>;
GRANT UPDATE ANY TABLE TO <username>;
GRANT DELETE ANY TABLE TO <username>;
GRANT DROP ANY TABLE TO <username>;
GRANT COMMENT ANY TABLE TO <username>;

🚧

If the schema/database already exists

By default, the service creates a new schema (in Oracle, schema is synonomous with user). If you prefer to create the schema yourself before connecting the destination, you must ensure that the writer user has the proper permissions on the schema.`

Step 3: Add your destination

Securely share your host name, database name, port, your chosen schema name, username, and password with us to complete the connection.
